ABOUT US

After a year of ground pounding, befriending, assisting and advocating for our brother and sister Veterans that were, and still are residing in the woods, founders Lloyd Thorne and Helen Shaut brought the Veterans Organization of Resource and Recovery for the Homeless into existence.No Longer will these veterans have to endure this existence alone. V.O.R.R.H. reaches out within the community utilizing all the resources that are available to support its efforts not only making a difference, but enhancing the growth and development of the reintegration of our Homeless Veterans into the mainstream of society.

These efforts initially began with Lloyd and Helen receiving the assistance of many Veterans Organizations in the lake county area, specifically the Vietnam Veterans of America chapter 1026, to identify and assist the homeless veteran's population . We currently rely on all community efforts and support for the further growth and commitment to our homeless veterans. Thank you to all who donate to v.o.r.r.h. through monetary donations, material donations, and donations of your time. We greatly appreciate all of your support.
